tirzepatide titration from 2.5 mg to 7.5 mg: my nausea pattern

5 mg once a week on Jan 1. The first week I lost 3 lbs and felt no side effects. On week 2 I bumped to 5 mg.

That night I had moderate nausea that lasted 2 hrs, but my food intake dropped by 20 %. 5 mg and the nausea was still present but less intense, about 30 min each time. I noted my HRV dip on the days I had nausea, so I added THC‑free peppermint tea before injection and the spike reduced.

Weight loss stayed linear, about 12 lbs in the first 8 weeks. 5 mg. No vomiting, just mild diarrhea a few times.

I’m curious if anyone else had a similar pattern or found a different tea or meal timing that helped. Any data on plateau timing?
